Saw prince the first weekend, dissapointment meter was pegged.
Pondered for a week and went back again and the lights came on. The film is about what each character was doing and what was important to them when they were a kid at Hogwarts.

The opening, Harry meets a pretty girl and considers letting her ride his "broomstick'. Hooray for hormones.

Voldemort sends Death Eaters to kidnap the person that he thinks can explain his "wand" problem.

Dumbledore has injured his hand trying to right the wrong he commited as a young man.

Lilly Potter was conjuring random acts of magical beauty.

Snape gave himself the name "Half Blood Prince" to score some dark magic "cool".

Hagrid was playing with creepy spiders.

Mr. Weasley sits in his man-cave surrounded by muggle treasures/junk, his wonder for the other world still fresh. Would've been a good spot for an old radio set.

It goes on and on. J.K. Rowling herself has said the story is about the kids and by extension all the characters when they were kids.

I have read all the books and I have to give "Prince" the film high marks.
